About the Item

Bear-ly survived - ceramic, stoneware clay, terra-sigillata, electric fired. This ceramic sculpture is from Irina’s series of Mishka. Irina’s recent practice centers on her Mishka series and puzzle-like figurative sculptures. Playful yet poignant, these works mirror human emotions and everyday dilemmas, offering reflections that are at once personal and universal. Irina Deshchenko-Lakshin was born and raised in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, the capital of the Kamchatka Peninsula in the former USSR. She later moved to the United States in 2009, where her journey into the arts began. After relocating to the U.S., Irina took pottery classes as a personal interest and quickly developed a passion for ceramics. Over the following years, she studied with various ceramic artists. What began as a hobby soon evolved into a professional pursuit. In 2013, Irina began showcasing her work in gallery exhibitions, and her pieces have since entered numerous private collections. She continued her formal art education, earning a Certificate of Fine Art in 2018 and an MFA from the New York Academy of Art in 2021. Irina works primarily with stoneware clay, porcelain, and terra-cotta, experimenting with various firing methods. Her style, contemporary with classical influences, is evident in her creation of vessels and figurative sculptures, which convey both timeless forms and modern sensibilities.
